actually won a super bowl before. that was in 1990. they blew out denver broncos 55-10. this one expected to be closer than that. jim harbaugh was talking to the super bowl media for the first time. >> glad to see everybody. we're super excited to be here. unchartered waters for a rookie super bowl coach. that's exciting too. we have a great thrill and great desire to be in unchartered waters. our coaches and our players have always strives in that kind of environment. >> i think if you're prepared for a situation you're going to be confident when you go out to try to win a football game or whatever you're doing. if you're prepared for it, you're going to be confident. head down. keep working. this isn't a time to relax and get out of your routine or stop working hard. this is when you should work

your hardest. >> reporter: colin kaepernick was by far the biggest hoard of media around him. he will have more and more of that as the week goes on from new orleans. a site of super bowl xlvii. 49ers trying to keep things as normal as possible. they got in sunday. a week long of practices beginning tonight and they'll be practicing at that saints sfifts. coverage from practice all on comcast sports net throughout the day. >> thank you very much. normal new orleans super bowl week. good luck on that. >> a lot of fun. we all know there's some sibling rivalry at this year's super bowl with jim harbaugh coaching the niners and his brother coaching the ravens. the super bowl also bringing out another rivalry. san francisco versus santa clara.

bay between these two cities. >> reporter: good morning. in baseball we have the true battle of the bay. now it seems that we have the battle over the san francisco 49ers. the question here is who gets to stake a claim to the team. here it is. first off, the niners bear the name san francisco as we all know. starting next season the 2014 season, they will call santa clara home. still it mayor ed lee tells the examiner he continues the franchise the san francisco 49ers no matter what. how about this? civic center plaza in san francisco where the mayor's office is is not lit up in red and gold as you might expect considering the fact that the tower was colored in orange and black no san francisco giants when they made the run for the world series. same story in santa clara. jamie matthews tells the amermey news his city is celebrating low key. city hall down here is also dark

games. pretty cool stuff out here. laura? >> very cool. exciting to see. thanks so much. more football just when you thought you heard it all. a fantasy football group petitioning the white house now to make the day after the super bowl a national holiday. of course. why wouldn't you? right now the group has just 7,900 signatures. you need 100,000 signatures for the white house to even respond to any petition. >> either way, we will be here. that's why you want to stay with nbc bay area for continuing coverage of the 49ers and their quest for the sixth super bowl trophy. we'll have coverage like no other with more journalists on the ground in new orleans than any other local station. you can catch their reports on air and on our website, nbcbayarea.com. i know christina loren shares our love for fridays and holidays. you probably would vote for that one. >> i indeed would vote for that one. she brings up a good point about solar panels. they wouldn't have as much

i'm jon kelley. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> today marks the second week of the second term for president obama. so far we have seen washington stuck on dealing with money issues and gun control. we may see movement this week on another big issue. immigration. both republicans and democrats say they need to address it. for president obama, immigration reform is a first term promise not kept. for republicans, it could be a key to winning in 2016. last year 70% of hispanics voted for president obama. "today in the bay's" tracie potts live on capitol hill this morning. democrats and republicans say they have come up with a compromise. big announcement set for later  today. what do we know about it so far? >> what we know is we got a sneak peek at the short document that they are releasing today. it's sort of a frame work for what they want to do later. it would include more border patrol. more people at the border and also better equipment there. employers verification system keeping them responsible for

hiring people who are illegal and stiffening the penalties for that. a guest worker program and preserving the ability to hire immigrants in agriculture jobs specifically but tying that to the unemployment rate. more jobs available in the u.s. more people can be hired and vice versa and green cards for people who graduate in this country with science and advance science and math degrees. >> we know there's controversy. what would be likely the most controversial part of this plan? >> probably the part that says people that are here illegally can have a path to citizenship. that's something that republicans in the past have resisted but keep in mind they are part of this plan and the way they have it set up it would not be an easy path to citizenship. you have to pass a few background checks pay back taxes and pay fines and penalties for being here illegally in the first place. a probationary period. you would have to learn english. you would have to prove you have a work history. eventually to get to the back of the line in that process to

become a citizen. >> what's the next step for the proposal? >> the next step, this is really sort of an outline. the next step is to fine tune it. the details. the devil is always in details. what lawmakers are going to need to do is sell it to broader parties and come up with legislation they think they can get passed. >> thank you very much, tracie. christina loren has everybody thinking about this forecast. she's been talking about tank tops and sleeveless shirts. >> you have them thinking about something else than me, jon kelley. 6:32. good morning to you. get your mindset on beach gear. we're headed toward beautiful beach conditions. a mix of sun and clouds to start. sunrise around 7:20 this morning. 38 degrees in napa. 38 degrees in livermore. 6:33 now we'll have to wait on the sun's arrival longer. once it comes up, a nice sunny day.

mostly sunny conditions all day long. wind out of the east at 3 miles per hour right now. that shows that winds are shifting up in the north bay. we still have westerly flow for most of the bay area. that means that cool ocean air is carried off the pacific and right into your neighborhood. we are expecting those winds to increase out of the west throughout the day today and future cast tells that story. between now and 5:00 p.m., expecting some pretty strong gusts between 40 and 60 miles an hour from time to time at the immediate coast and higher elevations where you lack friction at the surface. so just keep in mind not a great day for flowing skirt but it will feel cooler than 58 degrees with winds blowing inland later today. 57 bayside. 56 degrees at the coast. looking for warmer days? we have them just around the corner. we'll talk about when the beach weather settles into the bay area in my next report. any problems on the roads on this monday? >> a cluster of issues on the east side of bay bridge approach. with you see taillights and

volume kicking in as it does 6:30 on monday. there's your flow. no incidents on the span here for san mateo bridge. map shows east bay say. slowing south 880 out of san lorenzo. that's typical. we do have this now just reported. we have a crew heading toward an intersection where there is a report of a water main break. if you are traveling city streets, it may be an issue through that section. might be another issue right around the intersection because of a car that hit and knocked down a power pole overnight and that took out power in the area. signals and street lights might be affected as well. there's the castro valley y and slowing there. we'll look at the approach down through berkeley and toward emeryville toward west 80. speeds are coming down into the 40s because of volume and backup at the toll plaza. we'll show you that in the next report. back to you.

thank you very much. new this morning, whether you love it or you hate it, it's a tried and true tradition of san francisco and it now may be threatened. this morning comes word beta breakers sponsor is pulling out of the race. will the race go on? bob redell has the latest on this story. bob, good morning. >> reporter: organizers of the beta breakers are going to have to do some running of their own trying to quickly chase down a new backer of this annual foot race that runs here in san francisco. problem is they don't have much time. the race is scheduled for may 19th. the san francisco chronicle reporting that a website that allows you to make your own t-shirts has dropped out as the main sponsor after it could not come to an agreement with the organizers. it was the race's third sponsor in ten years having paid anywhere from 250 to $500,000 each year to attach its name to the huge event in san francisco. by the way, that sponsorship

knee never covered the $1 million cost. even if organizers cannot find a new sponsor over the next four months, the race's general manager tells the chronicle that there will be a race regardless. the paper pointing out that the race is put on by a man that is a billionaire. bob redell, "today in the bay." the san francisco giants plans to build a new neighborhood south of at&t park all but finished. final plans for mission rock development won't come to the port commission for approval until late next month. commissioners sound like they are prepared to sign off on the deal. the proposed development would have room for retail and office space. if all goes as planned, the mission rock development will break down in 2013. unrest in egypt. how chaos is leading to curfews

knew the fact there's been ten super bowls here in new orleans. why does the nfl keep coming back to new orleans? you get off the plane and you remember why. we're in the middle of the mardi gras parade season. we saw one of the last ones they'll have for a bit sunday. you see some of the floats and the bands going by. takes about two months for those floats to go from a thought and idea to being painted and out on the street. good stuff over there in new orleans. they're going to take about a week long break of the parties and parades on mardi gras on canal street there for the super bowl. it will be too much craziness with both events going on at the same time. they'll resume up with mardi gras parades up until fat tuesday which falls on february 12th this year. it's a big bummer for 49er players who got off the team plane last night at 7:00 a half hour before schedule because they missed that last mardi gras parade on canal street last night. the team -- i don't think they

would partake in that too much. they talked to the media an hour later. the big theme the team talked about is that this is a business trip for them. trying to take everything normal for them. easier said than done. they are staying at the marriott hotel three blocks away from bourbon street. the focus surely will be tested in the big easy all week long. he'll have it live for you on comcast sports net bay area with press conferences and 49er coverage. focus will be tested all week long for the players and us in the media as well. >> exactly. they'll probably smell the bourbon from bourbon street from their room no doubt. they are there to play. they're there to win. sounds good. we'll look forward to hearing from you all week. if you like the look of colin kaepernick's tattoos, allied ink discounting full color 49er theme ed tattoos for

$49. they would run 120 bucks each normally. the event is saturday from noon to 8:00 p.m. >> if you like kaepernick's look but don't want to go under the needle, there's another option for you. we told you about temporary tattoos last week. they mimic the tattoos on his biceps. today is the last day to order them to get them in time for sunday. kaepernick's jersey has been selling like hot cakes. the bestselling nfl jersey nationwide since the nfc playoff game against green bay where he exploded. meantime, here at home, let's just say a tale of two cities. the team may be called the san francisco 49ers but they are also working on that brand new stadium in santa clara. this year is a sport story being written by the bay area that's
